Hello, and Happy New Year! A much later return to blogging than I anticipated but it’s been a crazy few weeks and I’ve just not felt “in the zone”. But I’m back now, and hopefully (maybe) with a bit more regularity this year. I’m kicking things off with the only feature I manage to do on a regular basis- my review of the last Degustabox of 2020…
The December 2020 box was in partnership with Sainsbury’s, designed to showcase a range of exciting brands that the supermarket stock. We used to get a regular delivery from Sainsbury’s pre Covid-19 but don’t live near enough to a store to visit frequently. I miss the new and unusual goodies I always got from there so this box was very quickly broken in to and explored.
I hope you enjoyed this month’s round up. Let me know which products caught your eye the most and what some of your favourite festive snacks are.
If you’re new to Degustabox, it’s a monthly food subscription box that gives you the chance to try new and exciting products on the market whilst providing amazing value for money. On a month by month basis the box costs £12.99 (with a discount for longer subscriptions) but the contents are generally worth far more than this as you can see if you do the maths.
If you’re persuaded to give Degustabox a go (and really, you should) you can claim £3.00 off of your first box (making it just £9.99!) by entering the code XOQGC at the checkout. It’s been a pleasure to work with the brand regularly over the last couple of years and it’s without a doubt something that I will continue to purchase long after our partnership ends. I love the monthly surprise and excitement as well as the chance to discover products I’d otherwise pass up on the supermarket shelves.
The theme for the November Degustabox was festive and gourmet, so it seemed only right that we bought a little Christmas cheer to our photos. Bob has started getting super involved with photographing items for the blog, and things have definitely taken a more creative turn.

I find men so impossible to buy for, so I always tend to seek ideas for them when it comes to browsing and creating gift guides in the hopes of inspiration and to inspire others. Today’s inspiration comes in the form of this solid cologne from www.solidcologne.co.uk.
Whilst it might not look like much, this little tin packs an almighty punch in the gifting stakes. This is a solid wax-based cologne made with skin friendly ingredients that applies directly on to the skin. It’s designed with travel and busy lifestyles in mind with it’s pocket sized tin and no spill format (and when travel is back on the cards it’s also perfect for taking in your hand luggage).
Bob has been wearing this religiously since it arrived- he’s usually a brand snob when it comes to fragrance, but his other scents haven’t had a look in since this turned up. This scent, “Alexander”, is one of the brand’s top sellers and we both absolutely love it. It’s rich without being overpowering, with notes of grapefruit, bay leaf and jasmine. It has a woody base of patchouli, oak moss and ambergris, and whilst I have no idea what the latter is, it sure smells good!
This little tin retails for £19.99- now, that may seem pricey but this is going to last forever! A little bit goes a long way, and once applied the scent lasts all day. A great little gift idea for those hard to buy for men, and something we will be making a regular purchase.
I feel like the Degustabox team have really upped their game lately, the last few boxes have been absolutely brilliant (rather than just regular brilliant) and the October 2020 box, with it’s Movie Night and Halloween theme was no exception, and according to Bob, the best yet.
There was also a voucher in this month’s box to get some Scarestrings Strawberry Yollies but I couldn’t find them in any of my local shops so wasn’t able to review these.
Let me know if you’ve tried any of these products and what you thought in the comments, it’s always great to get other people’s thoughts.

Another month and another Degustabox to review; this time with a “Family Sharing & Home Cooking” theme, and on first glance it looked like a very promising box indeed. Bob and I wasted no time in getting stuck in to the contents and our thoughts on each product (well, almost all of them) are below.
